Britain's decision to exclude India from reform of its international student visa application process
has been widely condemned in Britain, including by the Labour Party.
It an "act of self-harm" that threatened to push even more Indian students away from British

The Home Office decision to exclude Indian students from the new immigration rules was a missed
opportunity.

Alluding to former Finance Minister's remark that the government can reduce the tax on petrol by
25 a litre, FM said this was a "trap."

Tax compliance is still a problem in India, Mr. Jaitley added, saying better compliance would
reduce the dependence on tax collections from petroleum products.
The tragedy of the honest taxpayer is that he not only pays his own share of taxes but also has to our
compensate for the evader," FM said
FM's earnest appeal to political leaders and opinion makers is that the full and complete suggestion
would be that evasion in the non-oil tax category must be stopped and, if people pay their taxes
honestly, the high dependence on oil products for taxation eventually comes down

.Concerned over funds sent abroad under the 'maintenance of close relative' category of the
Liberalised Remittance Scheme (LRS), the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has narrowed the definition
of relatives to check the flow of funds.
Hence, funds under the 'maintenance of close relative' category can be sent only to
relatives such as parents, spouses, children and their spouses. This has brought about by defining

decided to align the definition of relative' with the definition given in Companies Act, 2013 instead

.Outward remittances under maintenance of close relatives shot up to almost $3 billion in 2017-18
from a mere S174 million in 2013-14. In fact, funds sent under this category have more than doubled
since 2015-16
Overall outward remittances under LRS went up to S11 billion from $1 billion in the same period.
It may not be the case that the central bank is suspecting money laundering," said chief economist,

.It is possible that the facility [maintenance of relatives] under the Liberalised Remittances Scheme is
